This site is owned and operated by chicksdiggames.com. Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us and we wish, at all costs, to refrain from making your life more difficult than any life should have to be. We’re all about online happiness here. J

 

Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand our policy and the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement will explain what we do with the info you give us.

* Information chicksdiggames.com gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us to better serve you, the girl gamer (and those that love them) and better helps our advertisers and sponsors understand you as well. We need this information to keep ourselves afloat (barely) without charging you for reading our inane babble. Under no circumstances will we every ever ever ever ever give any information about any user to a third party.

 

chicksdiggames.com Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:

 

Optional Voluntary Information

 

The following free services require you to give us some sort of info:

 

1. The cdg electronic newsletter.

 

The cdg newsletter is free to those who choose to accept it. chicksdiggames.com gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points users to the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at the time of registration.

 

2. Message boards/forums policy

 

Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must register separately for these services (both are free of charge) in order to post messages, although they needn't register to visit the site. During registration the user is required to supply a username, password, and email address.

 

3. "E-mail this to a friend" policy

 

You can share the scrumptiousness that is cdg by clicking on “email this to a friend” throughout the site. The user must provide their email address, as well as that of the recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email. We will not do anything else with this info!

 

4. Polling

 

cdg offers polls to see what y’all are thinking about issues in gaming. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user. chicksdiggames.com may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information about individual users.

 

5. Surveys

 

chicksdiggames.com may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.

 

PRIVACY POLICY USE

 

How the information you gather is used if relevent.

 

USE OF INFORMATION

 

Any info you voluntarily give us, we will use to make the site that much better, either to add different interactive or personalized features or to better shape future content.

 

As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing. chicksdiggames.com never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.

 

When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you. We track search terms entered in Search function as one of many measures of what interests our users. But we don't track which terms a particular user enters.

 

chicksdiggames.com creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allows our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to their needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual users, an advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked their ad. We will not disclose any information about any individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public

 

SHARING OF THE INFORMATION

 

chicksdiggames.com uses the above-described information to tailor our content to suit your needs and help our advertisers better understand our audience's demographics. This is essential to keeping our service free. We will not share information about individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.

 

SECURITY

 

chicksdiggames.com operates secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our customers.

 

OPT-OUT POLICY

 

We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:

 

* Opting not to register to receive our newsletters.

* Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable information from our users
